Taylor Swift Fans Call Ariana Grande an ‘Enemy’

Taylor Swift fans, known as Swifties, have recently turned their attention to Ariana Grande, sparking debate and controversy. The uproar began when fans perceived Ariana’s interaction with her former manager Scooter Braun as a betrayal to Taylor Swift, given her longstanding feud with Braun.

The Incident That Sparked the Feud

Ariana Grande, who has been receiving acclaim for her role as Glinda in the upcoming movie musical Wicked, received a heartfelt Instagram post from Scooter Braun. Alongside a photo of Ariana and co-star Cynthia Erivo, Braun wrote a touching message praising Ariana’s talent and dedication:
“Ari, for over a decade, there was always one consistent dream—WICKED. And after all these years, the world now knows why… because you were born for this moment. Your talent, dedication, and ability to move us emotionally have made you a movie star. Bravo!”

Ariana responded warmly to the post, commenting:
“Thank you, Scooter. What special memories. Thank you for your support and for being a part of this.”

However, this public exchange didn’t sit well with Taylor Swift fans, given Taylor’s bitter history with Braun.

Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun: A Longstanding Feud

The rift between Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun dates back to 2019 when Taylor accused Braun of acquiring her master recordings without her consent. This led to a highly publicized battle over music rights and prompted Taylor to re-record her albums, creating the now-famous Taylor’s Versions.

Swifties, fiercely loyal to Taylor, have often called out celebrities who maintain connections with Braun. While Ariana was previously managed by Braun, she reportedly distanced herself from him. However, her recent comment has reignited speculation about her allegiance.

Swifties React Strongly

Protective as ever, Swifties took to social media to voice their frustration. On X (formerly Twitter), one fan wrote:
“That’s why I feel sick when she pretends to support Taylor; she couldn’t care less. She’s an enemy.”
Another declared:
“That’s it—NEVER LISTENING TO HER MUSIC AGAIN.”

The Bigger Picture

As the feud unfolds, it’s evident that Taylor Swift fans remain vigilant in defending their idol. Ariana’s response to Braun’s post might have been a simple gesture of gratitude, but for Swifties, any association with Braun is seen as disloyalty to Taylor.
